darkness and i ndus tries para ly zed the nation is aghast at the coal strikes menace railroad men likely to re fuse to move troops and dire results are feared when pangs of hunger madden the people special cable to the examiner london march 2 â€” great ilritiiiii stands to-day on the very edge ot hell one million coal miners representing the whole body ot workmen engaged in coal mining have struck and if they refuse to go back to work until their demands are conceded and if those demands are not conceded the country will be plunged into civil war not civil war of the ordinary klud in which two armed forces appeal to the arbitrament of arms as to which shall rule but civil war of a far more terrible kind ivil war m which the sole arbiter will be starv tion â€” starvation endured not by the combatants alone or even in chief , but the starvation of a nation starvation is a far more cruel arbiter than war war has its law3 starvation knows none and it is now being realized for the first time in our highly complex hand-to-mouth civilization in this modern society ot ours which is as delicate as the works of a watch that it is in the power of a single determined trades union to convert a whole nation of civil ized men into an anarchic multitude oi wild beasts ravening for prey britain a hand-to-mouth nation since the world began there heverhas been a nation of forty millions that lived o absolutely from hand to mouth as the british nation vÂ«ry one lives from hand to mouth relyintr with implicit faith upon the con tinuous smooth working of the vast system of railways steamships and banks and the power which kept the whole system going with tha regularity of the planets was coal our cities would he in darkness without coal the sewage of london could not be disposed of without coal our manufacturing industries would be paralyzed outside the purely agricultural districts every oue would be reduced to absolute lack of food and drink light itnd warmth without coal and to-day because a million miners refuse to go to work except on their own terms this immeasurable disaster is threatening the whole nation ministers appalled at the prospect of the welter of anarchy and starvation into which the country may be plunged have taken steps which as mr asquith said are in defiance of convention and tradition and custom in order to compel the mine owners to concede what in the impartial and unanimous judgment of the cabinet the men might fairly demand they are now up against the question whether if the miners persist in demands which in the ministerial judgment are unjust and unreason able they will endeavor to compel the mine owners to yield for the sake of the community they naturally shrink from taking so extreme a step for once let it be admitted that the miners have only to ask in order to have and to be supported by the government in enforcing their demands no matter how unjust they may be and the whole nation lies enslaved before the miners union there is a cry in some quarters for the nationalization of the mines but as the experience of new zealand shows strikes can take place in nationalized mines and the cost of production goes up when the mine is removed from the stimulating atmosphere of private management on the other hand there is a demand in some quarters for vigorous : measures of coercion and it is noted with grim satisfaction that orders : have been issued for every available man in the british army on salisbury plain to be armed and equipped ready for immediate action â€” cavalry in fantry artillery and engineers but these measures of precaution cannot break the strike cannot even maintain a semblance of order when fam ine-stricken mobs are looting london as the chinese soldiers have been looting pekin the railway strike of last summer lasted only a couple of days but it brought the great industrial towns within a week's distance of starva tion local authorities warned the home office from all the great indus trial centers that there was not a fortnight's supply of food in their towns that the starving people would break into shops to find bread and meat and that after that was consumed the community would find itself face to face with famine death's tread in last strike short as the strike was shops were broken into in leeds in liver pool where the strike lasted longer the lack of milk and fresh food waa reported to have caused the death of thousands of infants it is idle to talk of importing coal the transport workers union is pledged to treat coal as contraband of war as long as the strike lasts the railways will keep running a limited service as long as their stock of coal lasts there are ominous rumors that the railway men will strike against the conveyance of soldiers to repress disorder if the worst comes to the worst we may expect to witness scenes upon which the sun has not looked down since the commune of paris a starving nation knows no law respects no person if there was food enough in the country the government might seize it and order might be presedved but the supply of food depends upon the regular working of the steamship and railway service and the continuous operation of public credit it is the very terror of the possibilities let loose by such an industrial war which makes me believe that reason will assert its sway and that some way may be found out of the deadlock if so much good will come out of evil the strike already has made us all think furiously men's minds are much more open to consider the merits of schemes of profit-sharing and of copartnership and of co-opera tion than they were beforo so from the brink of hell we may make our way to heaven oh lord piayed the methodist revivalist take this vile sinafc

the first time in our highly complex hand-to-mouth civilization in this modern society ot ours which is as delicate as the works of a watch that it is in the power of a single determined trades union to convert a whole nation of civil ized men into an anarchic multitude oi wild beasts ravening for prey britain a hand-to-mouth nation since the world began there heverhas been a nation of forty millions that lived o absolutely from hand to mouth as the british nation vÂ«ry one lives from hand to mouth relyintr with implicit faith upon the con tinuous smooth working of the vast system of railways steamships and banks and the power which kept the whole system going with tha regularity of the planets was coal our cities would he in darkness without coal the sewage of london could not be disposed of without coal our manufacturing industries would be paralyzed outside the purely agricultural districts every oue would be reduced to absolute lack of food and drink light itnd warmth without coal and to-day because a million miners refuse to go to work except on their own terms this immeasurable disaster is threatening the whole nation ministers appalled at the prospect of the welter of anarchy and starvation into which the country may be plunged have taken steps which as mr asquith said are in defiance of convention and tradition and custom in order to compel the mine owners to concede what in the impartial and unanimous judgment of the cabinet the men might fairly demand they are now up against the question whether if the miners persist in demands which in the ministerial judgment are unjust and unreason able they will endeavor to compel the mine owners to yield for the sake of the community they naturally shrink from taking so extreme a step for once let it be admitted that the miners have only to ask in order to have and to be supported by the government in enforcing their demands no matter how unjust they may be and the whole nation lies enslaved before the miners union there is a cry in some quarters for the nationalization of the mines but as the experience of new zealand shows strikes can take place in nationalized mines and the cost of production goes up when the mine is removed from the stimulating atmosphere of private management on the other hand there is a demand in some quarters for vigorous : measures of coercion and it is noted with grim satisfaction that orders : have been issued for every available man in the british army on salisbury plain to be armed and equipped ready for immediate action â€” cavalry in fantry artillery and engineers but these measures of precaution cannot break the strike cannot even maintain a semblance of order when fam ine-stricken mobs are looting london as the chinese soldiers have been looting pekin the railway strike of last summer lasted only a couple of days but it brought the great industrial towns within a week's distance of starva tion local authorities warned the home office from all the great indus trial centers that there was not a fortnight's supply of food in their towns that the starving people would break into shops to find bread and meat and that after that was consumed the community would find itself face to face with famine death's tread in last strike short as the strike was shops were broken into in leeds in liver pool where the strike lasted longer the lack of milk and fresh food waa reported to have caused the death of thousands of infants it is idle to talk of importing coal the transport workers union is pledged to treat coal as contraband of war as long as the strike lasts the railways will keep running a limited service as long as their stock of coal lasts there are ominous rumors that the railway men will strike against the conveyance of soldiers to repress disorder if the worst comes to the worst we may expect to witness scenes upon which the sun has not looked down since the commune of paris a starving nation knows no law respects no person if there was food enough in the country the government might seize it and order might be presedved but the supply of food depends upon the regular working of the steamship and railway service and the continuous operation of public credit it is the very terror of the possibilities let loose by such an industrial war which makes me believe that reason will assert its sway and that some way may be found out of the deadlock if so much good will come out of evil the strike already has made us all think furiously men's minds are much more open to consider the merits of schemes of profit-sharing and of copartnership and of co-opera tion than they were beforo so from the brink of hell we may make our way to heaven oh lord piayed the methodist revivalist take this vile sinafc
